> Israel ranks high on democracy indicies

Those rankings must be rigged.

Nethanyahu should be locked up in jail now for the corruption charges he was facing before the Hamas attack.

He literally stopped elections in Israel since then and there's been protests against his government daily for some years now.

And now, even taco tries to have the corruption charges dropped for Nethanyahu, then you must know he's guilty.

Its incredible when you consider that they have operating what is essentially a fascist police state in the West Bank for decades where the population has essentially no right and are frequent targets of pogroms by settlers.

In Monty Python fashion: if you disregard the genocide, the occupation, the ethnic cleansing, the heavy handed police state, the torture, the rape of prisoners, the arbitrary detentions with charge, the corruption, the military prosecution of children, then yes its a democracy.
